Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

The video opening advertisement only has this one picture, which is played for 15 seconds straight, enough to disgust everyone who clicks on it and leave.

After finishing the video, Lin Yi watched it again himself. He was disgusted by the advertisement that was at the level of an elementary school student.

Although the viewing experience of the live part at the end was better, due to the viewing angle and sound reception issues, the experience was simply incomparable to the live scene.

Anyone who can watch this video and then become a fan of the band can be considered a god.

In order to avoid any further complications, Lin Yi directly logged into the band's video account and posted the video directly. He did not participate in any activities or add any tags, in order to reduce the traffic to the lowest possible level.

After doing all this, Lin Yi turned off the computer, turned off the lights, lay on the bed, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

In a dark closet in a room, the only source of light is the laptop screen.

A pink-haired girl wearing pink warm pajamas and headphones is sitting cross-legged with a guitar in her arms.

The girl's slender fingers moved flexibly on the strings, playing a nearly perfect rhythm.

This is even better than Kawaharaki Momoka's and far exceeds Chihaya Aine's guitar skills!

After an impromptu solo, Goto Ichiri slowly put down the guitar, then leaned forward, grabbed the mouse with his small hand, and finally a proud smile appeared on his face.

For a dark worm like her who is at the bottom of the social hierarchy in real life and no one cares about her, only the Internet can bring a little comfort to her heart.

【guitarhero】

Looking at this account whose number of fans is about to break 3, Goto Ichiri feels a great sense of satisfaction.

It would be nice if I could become a cyber creature.

With unrealistic fantasies in mind, Goto Ichiri casually uploaded the popular songs he had recorded, and then began to read the latest comments under the videos and the private messages from fans to his backstage.

Among the many praises and shares, a private message caught Goto Ichiri's attention.

[mmk single recommender: guitarhero, I have liked you for a long time, can you try to cover this song? (link) I really like this song, I want to hear guitarhero's cover, please! ]

People often send her private messages like this, and as long as the song is suitable, Goto Ichiri will usually meet the fans' requests.

only……

Goto Ichiri glanced at an automatic reply from ten minutes ago.

【Thank you for your attention. If you have any songs you want to listen to, you can send them to me in a private message. 】

Even though this person had only followed her for ten minutes, which had nothing to do with her liking him, Goto Ichiri still clicked on the video.

《【Ending Band丨Original Song】Yugure》

----

I went to the autumn recruitment briefing and job fair today. I was exhausted after a busy day, so I only wrote one chapter.

As usual, two chapters will be added after the update. Currently, there are 4 chapters to be added.

Chapter 44 Who is the guitar hero? I want to end his life!

A remote house in Tokyo is also the new home of Jing Serina.

Rencai lay on her back on the bed, tapping the screen with her fingers and muttering to herself.

"I've liked you for a long time. Can you please cover this song? I'm so grateful..."

After clicking send with her finger, Rencai threw the phone aside, took a long breath, and lay down on the bed with her arms and legs spread.

It has been exactly twenty-four hours since the band's live performance ended, and during this period, Momoka has been taking care of him almost the entire time.

She took me out to dinner, let me stay at her house, accompanied her to complete the school registration, and helped her rent a new house.

She was really touched that Taoxiang could do this for her as a fan.

So in order to repay Momoka, Rencai found many up-loaders on the Internet who did cover plays and covers, and sent them private messages in the name of fans, asking them if they could cover the band's songs.

Nina didn't know whether this tactic of casting a wide net would work, but as long as one person agreed, it would more or less help Momoka and the others, right?

Thinking of this, Nina picked up her phone, clicked on the video and prepared to watch "Re:Yugurashi" again.

Looking at the crudely made video, Rencai couldn't help but sigh: It's obviously a professional and formal agency, why could they put up such a video?

……

The warm morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the bed. Lin Yi reluctantly opened his eyes and climbed out of bed.

After some simple exercises and washing up, Lin Yi sat in front of the computer.

It has been a week since the live ended.

Until yesterday, the uploaded live videos and the sales of peripheral products on the official website remained lukewarm.

Logically speaking, seven days of verification would be enough to end the band's commercial failure, but to be on the safe side and to give himself peace of mind, Lin Yi still had the habit of checking it himself every day.

He first checked the system interface.

[Host: Lin Yi]

【Loss conversion ratio: 1:1】

【Artists under the company: Chihaya Aine, Kawaharaki Momoka, Yamada Ryo, Ichichi Nijika】

[Next settlement time: 15 days]

【System funds: 135W】

Although there are still 135 million funds on the books, these are all fictitious. The band has ended and Xiangzi's salary for this month has not been paid yet. Taking into account the rent of the practice room and some miscellaneous expenses, it can be said that it is more than enough to spend all the system funds.

Thinking that the entire 600 million system funds would be transferred to his account in half a month, Lin Yi felt secretly happy.

Although daily food and drink expenses as well as some business-related travel expenses can be reimbursed using public accounts and system funds.

But human life is obviously more than just this.

Lin Yi has wanted to own a car and a computer of his own since his previous life. He is fed up with this battle-damaged computer that he has been using for many years.

As soon as the funds are in place, Lin Yi will experience the feeling of being on top of 4090 people.

Also, PS4, Xbox, and Switch cannot be left behind.

Well...after moving, I have to arrange a glass display cabinet to display various peripherals and figures.

Lin Yi, who is looking forward to a better life in the future, opened the backstage of the band’s official account.

"Today should be like usual, with an increase of dozens or even 100 views, right?"

"Ah...it's just another ordinary day."

But when Lin Yi looked at the chart showing changes in video playback volume, he was completely stunned.

"What's happening here?"

The line graph, which was originally plain and uneventful, climbed up at an astonishing angle after a night of settling, with a growth rate of more than 2000%!

Lin Yi moved the mouse tremblingly and locked the cursor on the data.

3721!

"Gudong."

Lin Yi swallowed and rubbed his eyes. He thought he might have seen it wrong, or there was a display bug in the data.

He refreshed the webpage as if he didn't believe it.

The data did change, but instead of returning to normal, it began to grow again.

3752!

In just half a minute, the number of views increased by more than 30.

"How can this be?"

Lin Yi couldn't believe his eyes. He made the live video himself and he knew exactly what level it was.

He quickly clicked on the link to the video and scrolled down to enter the comment section.

【From guitarhero, if she hadn't really missed this treasure song. 】

[The cover by guitarhero is very nice, but I didn't expect the original version to be even better. The live performance is very infectious. It would be even better if the perspective and sound recording were more perfect.]

[This song really has the flavor of the neon music scene of the last century. I will continue to pay attention to the band. ]

[What's the point of putting a 15-second cheesy ad at the beginning? I almost quit this video. Please make sure to improve it in the future. ]

[It has been added to the playlist. The CD price on the band's official website is very expensive, but I am willing to pay for such high-quality original works. I have already pre-ordered it and hope it can be shipped as soon as possible. ]

[I am a US military stationed in Japan. When will this song be available on Apple Music? I can’t wait.]

[This song is really powerful. I cried after listening to it. I will share it with more people. ]

[Why are there no tags on the video? Do you not know how to do it? I can teach you for free. ]

[Speaking with strength, this is the style of the Neon Girls Band! 】

【…】

The video currently has over 4000 views and 300 comments. Except for a few negative comments about the advertisement and video production, the rest are all positive.

Looking at these comments, Lin Yi's eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened.

Damn it, what on earth is going on?!

It had been cold for a week, but suddenly became popular last night.

These 4000 views are not very high, but this may be a signal before the crisis comes.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi opened the background of the agency's official website to check the surrounding sales situation.

The popularity of the live video is only one aspect. As long as it does not affect the sales of surrounding products, Lin Yi’s plan to lose money will not be a problem.

But this is obviously a lie to deceive oneself. How could such a high rate of comments and praise not be reflected in the sales of peripheral products?

Small items like bracelets, shirts, and postcards still have low sales, but the focus is the single CD that costs 5000 yen.

The CD sales have now reached an astonishing 176 copies, with sales reaching 88!

You should know that the production cost of a CD is not high. The cost of recording plus the production of the CD and packaging is only about 300 yen per disc on average. It will be even cheaper if the shipment volume is large.

Moreover, the band’s CDs can only be sold online, so they don’t need to share revenue with the record stores, making the profits even more substantial.

A bead of sweat appeared on Lin Yi's forehead.

What went wrong?

He returned to the comment section of the video, took a closer look, and indeed, found a name that appeared very frequently.

"guitarhero!"

Lin Yi clenched his fists and squeezed out the name from between his teeth.

Who is guitarhero? I want to end his life!

Chapter 45 Lin Yi: These are all small tests on the road to success

【Guitar】"Yugu"【Cover】

Number of views: 1.31w

【guitarhero: A fan said he wanted to hear me cover this song. I listened to it and it’s a pretty good song, so I couldn’t wait to record it. I hope that fan likes it. (Original song link)】

Lin Yi looked at the video that was released yesterday morning and his face turned completely dark.

Looking at the girl in pink pajamas and pants, with only her lower body shown in the video, playing the guitar, Lin Yi felt very complicated.

Even a layman like him could tell that the other aspects of the young girl were higher than those of Momoka and Aine.

But this is also what makes Lin Yi angry. You are an up-host with nearly 3 fans and such a high level of skills, why would you repost his bottom-line video which has less than 1000 views?

It's too casual of you to just cover the song when your fans ask you to.

Even post the link to the original song!

And what is the fan whose name I don't know trying to attract attention for free? He is really nosy and self-satisfied!

In addition to being angry, Lin Yi sighed helplessly. This kind of thing was not something he could control or foresee. He could only say that he had encountered an unexpected disaster.

Although the sales of CDs have increased, the manufacturer has not yet produced the goods, and Lin Yi never asks them to do so, so all he can get now is the pre-sale payment.
